received mine already! No, you don't mess around.
Merry Christmas
How are the ball lock posts attached? Is it possible to remove them and use it as a hop back?
I have the same question and will pre-order the Randall version if the ball locks are removable for use a the hop back. I assume they are, even if just for cleaning or repairing the poppet.
Sorry guys missed that.
Yes for sure they are removable. The keg post is welded to the tubes and then you screw on the ball lock connections you want. We are having to Teflon the threads for a better seal as the gasket doesn't seem to do the 100% job we want and there is no way to add a dip tube with an o'ring. So I am just doing a quick Teflon wrap and all is good.

Can you post a picture with the ball lock removed?
I think it would be cool if somehow the ball lock connectors were attached to the tubes with compression fittings instead of being welded. I am not sure that is possible but if it is then the same filter could be used as a hop back (by taking them off so tubing could fit over the tubes) and a Randall (with the fittings on). Two uses with the same filter. Just a thought.

I got mine but haven't tested it yet. I had another thought though. I just did a pilsner and don't want to add a whole lot of extra hop character just a touch but it would also be nice to not push the yeast that settled out in the keg to the next keg. What if you packed it with rice hulls after putting in the hops? I know yeast are tiny but if the flow was slow enough toward the end could it knock out the majority of it?
Also how much pressure do these hold? If I do a keg to keg transfer at 14psig will it blow once the second keg is full and starts to pressurize?
I'll try to take some pics when I finally try it out. You gotta stop making cool $h!t I'm not made out of money!
